Thanks to writing this blog and our incorrigible online shopping habits, Porcelain and I often find ourselves at the top of random catalog mailing lists. It seems to get even worse during the holidays.

In the spirit of making lemonade from these mass-mailed lemons, we're going to post our favorite gift items from each glossy we receive this season.

With seven varieties of English muffins, this gift basket is bound to have nooks and crannies for every taste. Porcelain would also like to remind us that, "Everyone loves carbs! Unless you can't eat gluten." Sorry, Amy!

I'm going with this collection because it's simple. The fact that one of the cheeses is called Oregonzola® and that Newsweek Magazine declares Royal Riviera® pears to be "simply the best pears ever" does not play into my decision at all.
